Santa Cruz, CA

After driving down US 1, we arrived in Santa Cruz! I had been itching to get out of the city with the B Man because I'm getting worried we may have to leave next summer and I don't want to miss anything on my bucket list! Well, technically, I wanted to go to Monterey but he won out with Santa Cruz. Oh well. Compromise, right?

So we arrived in Santa Cruz and immediately set out to explore. The picture above is from the pier. From their website, "The family-operated Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk has been entertaining guests by the beach since 1907. One of the last of the classic seaside amusement parks in the United States, the Boardwalk is considered one of the best seaside amusement parks in the world."

SO MANY SEA LIONS!!!

This one is straight chillin! I guess they can jump pretty high to get up on that beam (you can't really tell how far away the water is)

More views from the boardwalk. That tall thing in the middle is a ride where they take you to the top and let you drop...NO THANKS.

Hidin out!

There's even a train! The Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific train "operates passenger and
freight services on one of the oldest and most historic lines in
California. When the route opened in 1875 it carried lumber as well as
picnickers and tourists to the Big Trees and Santa Cruz. Today's Beach
Train passengers can start their roundtrip journeys from either Roaring
Camp in Felton or from the beach in Santa Cruz."

About Me

I'm a 32 year old fabulous female searching for excitement, thankfully I don't look a day over 24 ;) I've lived in Germany, London, D.C. and now reside in beautiful San Francisco!! Ok, ok, there have been a few smaller cities in between all of those, but still!
This blog is my means of keeping it all straight and keeping my friends and family up-to-date (and of course jealous!). All in all I'm searching for Utopia and the only way to get there is with my passport...
